Atherstone sits within North Warwickshire Borough Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.

Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

HMO fire safety works in Atherstone: common questions

How long does an HMO conversion in Atherstone take?

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Atherstone?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Atherstone?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Atherstone?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. North Warwickshire Borough Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
